Applied Superconductivity

The aim of this new journal is to provide an international forum for the exchange of ideas concerning the large and small scale application of superconductivity. The focus of the journal is on any process, device, equipment, component, system, machine or structure which incorporates a superconducting element or which in some way takes advantage of or relies on the unique electrical or magnetic properties of superconductors to achieve a useful function. Examples include analog devices and SQUIDs, which are generally produced from thin superconducting films; RF cavities, which can be made from thick films and coatings; magnets, motors, generators and energy storage devices which may require long lengths of wire, tape, or multi-filament cable. Articles describing unique processing technologies aimed at achieving necessary performance characteristics are also appropriate. More specifically, the journal will contain articles on actual systems which embody various applications. These systems might include particle accelerators, magnetic levitation systems, electromagnetic launchers, fusion magnets, magnetic separation and research magnets, storage devices, imaging magnets and the facilities needed to support or augment these systems e.g. controls or cryogenics.
